Transpeople == rapists and pedophiles?

[polerin]

So.. I haven't really had the chance to write this up fully... I've been to busy and my sister has been in town, but mAndrea's most recent blog entry really takes the cake. In it, while throwing some pretty nasty stereotypes around and catching them with mockery and derision, she has this lovely blurb.

A second point is that transfolk confuse subjective life experience (which is merely a perception or opinion) with validation of the ideology guiding that perception. Since they can’t or won’t accept that the definition of ideology does indeed apply to transgenderism, they perceive any negative criticism of that ideology as a personal attack. But in reality, a “subjective life experience” only proves that the person feels a certain way; emotions are not objective truth.

This is a logic problem, folks. If the transgendered are going to claim that “subjective life experience” proves that the underlying ideology guiding that life experience is valid, then the following are true as well: The life experience of pedophiles proves that sex with children is beneficial to pedophiles and as a consequence society should be looking for ways to mitigate the harm to children who are raped by pedophiles so that the benefit to pedophiles can continue. The life experience of females who have been raped by every male relative they know proves that all men are rapists and as a consequence all men should be leashed. The life experience of rapists prove that rape is good. The life experience of transitioning proves that transitioning is good. The life experience of alcoholics proves that they feel relief and more relaxed when other people stop trying to take away their bottle.

... so ... i'm a pedophile rapist who has a drinking problem? Wow. I never realized.

Arguement flaw: It's making the assumption that people transision because it makes them feel good, wheras transision is actually a person getting back to their normal level. You can't compare alcholism to it, because alcholism (and being a rapist) are both decisions that a person has made. The decision to not be put in the right gender was never down to the person.

Sorry, you already know this, I'm just ranting slightly.

Guh, hate.

heh, if that were the only problem with the whole thing. I don't really want to give more link power to the silly thing, but it's at feminazi.wordpress.com
Probably NSFW though, so you might not want to take a peek till you can resurrect your be-coked modem.

You of all people will be irked even more by the fact she calls it a "graphic novel."

Yeah, although she's shifted the goalpost so many times her position isn't clear. She also steals the structure of arguments used against her to rephrase her own arguments.

It's my own opinion that trying to engage her at all is a waste of time and effort. She has her agenda and will stay that course no matter what.
